Another piece of AltaGlass (one word). This has the label on it. Was made in Alberta, Canada. Of course, I have posted a few pieces of AltaGlass here. I imagine they end up *over-the-pond* too ...LOL
Of course I like this!
I don't think I have seen Altaglass here in Oz...never know though.
Lovely clam shaped Bowl! Awesome coloring. I learned many Murano Glass Makers migrated over to Canada.
You are correct.
Many immigrated here from Murano with art glass knowledge and wanted to take that knowledge and do their own art glass here....so Chalet Glass (etc) do have a European connection in the Glass World. Here is some info for others to read also:
